One of the challenges that goes through a home buyer’s mind while looking at new homes in Plano TX, is how to decorate their new home once they purchase it. The problem for many people is that they’ve grown up watching complete home redecorations take place during a 30-minute television show. Combined with the overwhelming number of home décor blogs and decorating tips on Pinterest, people are empowered or overwhelmed by the sheer breadth of knowledge available.

If you’re not sure what your decorating style is, relax. The best way to figure it out is to simply experiment. Your style will evolve as you age and gain more confidence. Start out by clipping images from home decorating magazines like Southern Living or House Beautiful. If you have a Pinterest account, create a board for different rooms of your home, and then pin pictures that you find online or repin images from other Pinterest users that appeal to you.

Once you have a collection of images, go through them and see if any patterns emerge, like a certain color keeps showing up, or maybe you’re drawn to different shapes like stripes. If you still don’t see any patterns, take a look at your lifestyle. When you talk with people, are you a stickler for detail or do loads of details make you crazy? (If so, you probably won’t feel comfortable in your new Plano home if it has lots of accessories and clutter.) Do you like to hang out with creative, quirky people or do you like a more traditional friendship? If you keep friends for years, you probably feel more at home with sentimental, treasured items.

Another option to help you discover your decorating style is to take an online quiz from websites like HGTV or Better Homes and Gardens. And if all else fails, call for backup. Sometimes, the best course of action is to hire an interior designer who has experience to help you discover your unique style.
